Pew Research lists Americans' priorities for 2014

(WZZM) -- The President had his chance to describe the State of the Union Tuesday night. A new report from the Pew Research Center asked 1,507 adults to rank the top priorities for the President and Congress.

The economy came out on Top. 80% said more work needs to be done to stabilize and continue economic growth. The number is down from 86% in 2013.

Improving the job situation is second on the list. 74% still believe more needs to be done to get people working again.

A close third on the Pew Research list is defending the country from terrorism. 73% say this is needs to be a priority. It's actually up 2% points, perhaps the result of last year's bombing at the Boston Marathon.

Four and five on the list focus include improving our educational system and making the social security system sound. For more click on the link to the Pew Research Center.
